There are so many things about which some old man ought to tell one while one is little; for when one is grown one would know them as a matter of course

A woman's always younger than a man at equal years

No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year

Age, like distance lends a double charm

The greatest comfort of my old age, and that which gives me the highest satisfaction, is the pleasing remembrance of the many benefits and friendly offices I have done to others.

We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count
